Buzz for The Scar Boys:

A William C. Morris Debut Award finalist“. . . wry, stylish tale.” —The New York Times

—Kirkus Reviews “Compelling. This book not only captures the feeling of what it is like to form a band, but also the reasons why you form a band.”—Peter Buck, R.E.M.

Buzz for Scar Girl:

★ “Vlahos, a finalist for the Morris Award with The Scar Boys, has succeeded in creating a sequel every bit as compelling and emotionally charged as its predecessor. . . . Like its predecessor, this novel will leave readers aching for an encore.” —starred, Kirkus

“Vlahos’ voice is honest and true—this hit me straight in the heart. Anyone who is or has ever been a teenager will relate to the longing, the triumphs and the miseries. And no matter what, the characters in Scar Girl, like the rest of us, get up the next day and love again.” —Beth Albrecht, The Magic Tree Bookstore

“[This] story will offer satisfying closure to the first book’s many fans who want to know what happened next.” —Booklist​
